Lowe’s Black Friday ad: 6 tech deals worth watching during this year’s sales

This week, we got a glimpse of the Lowe’s Black Friday ad for the period covering November 26-December 2. Discounts will be available for everything from tool sets to LED Christmas trees to smart speakers – it’s pretty comprehensive across every line of products, and deals will be available online as well as in stores for most products.

You can see the full ad for yourself here, but below we’ve selected a bunch of tech highlights from the upcoming deals, and provided dates of when they go live. Some of these products are already discounted as part of existing sales events, but take even deeper drops when late November rolls around. 

It’s worth comparing these to other retailers like Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart when the Black Friday deals land – that’s because a lot of the products below, particularly those from Amazon, are going to get big discounts across the board. 

Here are some highlights:

Roku Premiere Streaming Player: $39.99 $24.99 at Lowe’s
Already discounted to $29.99 ahead of Black Friday, this 4K-ready streaming stick takes another $5 discount for the event itself. It comes with a remote control, but you can also hook it up to your mobile device if you wish.
